Having fresh greens in the fridge is always a good sight for me. I miss having them in my backyard but my garden in this new home is not fully develop yet so buying them from the store is what we can do. I do however don't like the fact that they wilt very easily so I have to buy it when we really want to consume it right away. That's one reason why I am so grateful that Bluapple contacted me again to review one of their new products, the Veggie Zip. Bluapple developed some products that prolongs the produce freshness.
I love this new one because I have tried this technique before with paper towel and it helps but not for a long period of time. With Bluapple's VeggieZips, they are specially designed produce bags that allow us to create the perfect humidity for all the different types of produce that we have in the fridge. So depending on what we will be using it for, you can adjust the humidity which is outlined below.
These VeggieZips are vented with the patent-pending U-Vent technology. It allows fresh air in and helps the ethylene gas to escape through small flaps that cover the bag. Each bag comes with HydroLiners. You can use the soft, cloth-like hydroliners wet, dry, or not at all depending on the needs of the produce.
Here are some tips from Bluapple using their VeggieZip:
- When storing produce that needs additional moisture to stay fresh, like lettuce, cilantro, or green onions, dampen the HydroLiner, gently wrap it around the produce, place in the VeggieZips bag, store in the refrigerator, and re-dampen the HydroLiner as necessary.
- If you are storing produce that needs excess moisture absorbed, like mushrooms, berries, and cauliflower, wrap the produce in a dry HydroLiner, place in a VeggieZips bag, and store in the refrigerator.
- There are some types of produce that do not need moisture added or absorbed, like peppers, eggplant, and nectarines. With these, just place the produce inside the VeggieZips bag without a HydroLiner and store in your refrigerator.
We all know that produce can be expensive sometimes so these VeggieZips will not only prolong the life of the produce but it will save us money as well. There are 22 VeggieZips and 22 hydroliners in a pack. You can buy it here for $9.99. I have looked at our local store if they have this yet but I didn't see it.

Yes! Thank you so much for sharing this! I love fresh veggies and greens, but they never last. WOOT!
I always clean all my fruit and produce after getting it home from the store or picking from the garden. These bags would be great to use and store everything.
I didn't know they made anything like this! I could totally use this to keep my veggies fresh longer!
Gosh that's great! I don't like when my veggies wilt either. This is a great fid.
I need to get some Veggie Zip bags. I hate how fast veggies spoil in the fridge. With these I can get my moneys worth out of my fruit and vegetables.
What a cool twist on a traditional Ziploc bag. These look like they would come in handy for a variety of different purposes. I can't wait to try them out!
YES! This! I hate being a part of food waste but have to admit I am often tossing out veggies too soon. I am absolutely trying this out! Thank you for the great info!
I hate wasting food, it's nice to hear there is a product out there to help food keep a little longer. We go through so many veggies and I get frustrated not being able to save them longer.
I need to invest in some of these veggie bags, I hate when my veggies go bad before I can use them. Thanks for the heads up!!
It's such a waste to throw away wilted veggies. I love that this has a hydro liner to keep the veggies fresh.
Oh Wow! This is what I need, I always wonder why my veggies didn't last! Veggie Zipper is the answer. Glad I found this.
I hate when veggies start to welt in the fridge. Glad these veggiezips prolog the produce longer.
I could totally use this at home! It's a lovely product and a great way to keep veggies fresh especially since I always stock up during the summer for salads and sandwiches.
These sounds great to prolong the shelf/fridge life of your produce. Will have to look out for these.
I SO need this. We try to buy in bulk b/c we save $$ but then we throw out 1/4 of it. This is perfect
I'll have to check this out! I'm always looking for ways to extend the longevity of my fresh vegetables and herbs.
One of the things I love about living in the country is all the farmers markets, this will help me maximize them!
I have been trying to find ways to save our veggies and make them last longer. I will surely check this asap.
Veggies go bad so quick! I think I'll need to get this or something like it if they don't have it in my country, because I hate wasting so much produce!
